Overview</h2>
<p> Sarissa is an ECMAScript library acting as a cross-browser wrapper for native XML
                APIs. It offers various XML related goodies like Document instantiation, XML loading
                from URLs or strings, XSLT transformations, XPath queries etc and comes especially
                handy for people doing what is lately known as &quot;AJAX&quot; development. </p>
<p> Supported browsers are Mozilla - Firefox and family, Internet Explorer with MSXML3.0
                and up, Konqueror (KDE 3.3+ for sure), Safari and Opera. Konq and Safari offer no
                XSLT/XPath scripting support AFAIK. </p>
<p> For a HOWTO document that provides examples of common tasks see the <a href="./howtos.html">HOWTOs</a>
. The API documentation is generated using <a href="http://jsdoctoolkit.org/" class="externalLink">JSDoc</a>
 and can be found <a href="./jsdoc/index.html">here</a>
. </p>
<p> The latest version of Sarissa can always be found on <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/sarissa/" class="externalLink"> the Sourceforge project
                page</a>
. Please send comments, corrections etc through the <a href="./mail-lists.html">mailing

<p>Projects used when developing Sarissa:</p>
<ul><li>Apache <a href="http://maven.apache.org/" class="externalLink">Maven</a>
 and <a href="http://maven.apache.org/" class="externalLink">Ant</a>
 
            are used to build the Sarissa distributions, documentation and website. Sarissa can nowdays 
              be used as a Maven dependency in your Maven-based webapps, <a href="/installation.html">check it out</a>
.</li>
<li>The <a href="http://dev.abiss.gr/mvn-jstools/" class="externalLink">Maven JSTools Plugin</a>
 is used to produce 
            documentation based on <a href="http://www.jslint.com/" class="externalLink">JSLint</a>

              and <a href="http://jsdoctoolkit.org/" class="externalLink">JSDoc Toolkit</a>
.
              The JSTools Plugin is also used in Maven based java webapps at runtime, to resolve Sarissa
              or other JS files and resources.</li>
<li><a href="http://kupu.oscom.org/download/" class="externalLink">ECMAUnit</a>
 is used for Unit Testing. Check out the 
              Sarissa Unit Tests page <a href="/test/testsarissa.html">here</a>
.
            </li>
<li>The <a href="http://www.mobilvox.com/projects/maven-js-plugin/" class="externalLink">MobilVox Maven JavaScript Plugin</a>

            is used to create the compressed versions of the Sarissa JS files.</li>
<li>The <a href="http://code.google.com/p/syntaxhighlighter/" class="externalLink">Syntaxhighlighter</a>
 is used for 
            (obviously) syntax highlighting through out the documentation.</li>
</ul>
<p>Here are some projects using Sarissa, please let us know if you would like to add yours 
                here. This is in the credits simply because if Sarissa was not usefull we would not be 
                working on it. Currently Sarissa has been downloaded more than 56k times so we
                will be maintaining it for some time :-)</p>
